Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) claims the 1994 “assault weapons” ban lowered crime even though a Department of Justice report shows it had no impact on recorded figures.

Sen Dianne Feinstein ✔ @SenFeinstein

While the federal assault weapons ban was in effect (1994-2004), the number of gun massacres fell by 37% and the number of gun massacre deaths fell by 43% compared to the previous decade. After the ban lapsed, gun massacres rose by 183% and gun massacre deaths by 239%. 2,481 7:42 AM - Aug 20, 2019

Hello----------- Did the author forget that the democommies (per nuzzlin' joe) have 'chosen' truth over facts? And "they" get to decide which truths are true, facts be damned. Of course most folks with half a thought process read the UCR and knew there was negligible effect for that time period. Besides which, why are we discussing this at all. The 2nd amendment is pretty easy to read. Key word being 'infringed'.

Tell a lie loud enough and often enough and people begin to believe it is true. Even the liar telling the lie starts to believe it.

Mother Jones magazine has a well-respected database of “mass shootings”, that DiFi should have checked.

A big part of the lie is that most deaths related to firearms are tied to handguns. Those numbers go up and down for any number of reasons.

Meanwhile, assault weapons are comparatively rarely used in crimes. But the government likes to try and ban these weapons rather than hand guns.

It begs the question: Why does the government want to ban assault weapons?

Answer: The government isn’t trying to save lives (if they were, they’d try to ban handguns); the government is trying to make sure that people lack the firepower to challenge government tyranny.

Well you can’t blame Feinstein for getting the facts wrong, hell she can’t even remember which drawer her adult pampers are in.
